‘Allow yourself to be idle, to dwell a moment, to delay and iterate. Use your hands to make something a machine could make much faster. Look for the beauty in the impermanent, the imperfect and the incomplete. Take your time.’

‘I can no longer remember how the topic of cats arose, but as soon as I heard the anger coming out of this man I decided not to say a word; I listened, fixated. I was the only woman in the room. ‘Nasty animals, nasty animals,’ he repeated. He was looking right at me, though not with his eyes.’

‘In the first weeks and months I wonder at the textures and surfaces of my new home like a visitor from another planet. I luxuriate in the vanguard sensuality of a new postcode. I collect up the tastes and gestures of homemaking that every move teaches me, each one a new way of being in the world. I cherish it, and pray it won’t be my last.’

‘I tend to make absurd video essays because when I was in art school, the post-internet art bros my classmates and I looked up to were making these very didactic videos as their art. At the beginning, I thought it was cool, then I realised it was just a bunch of white men being patronising.’

‘Thought about in this way, poetry is well suited to our fast-paced times, since it is a sort of condensed reading (and writing). Instead of spending days reading the latest airport novel – killing time, as people call it – we could read the poetry of Lyn Hejinian, Inger Christensen or one of the young poets we interview in this issue. Instead of killing time, we’d be filling it with purpose.’

‘I had already tried the fly agaric before. They can be quite powerful. I’ve tried it six times. Sometimes there’s no effect, and sometimes it’s very strong. There’s a video of me under the influence where I’m singing.’

‘It’s about having the internet as a space for girls, and it also helps to create a new type of imagery, because we decide what to put out there. And it’s different from how we are being viewed in the world, and what we are forced to see on a daily basis with the images that are out there.’

‘Kalain has two main target groups: people who want to preserve the scent of someone who recently passed away, and people engaged in long-distance relationships. I’m part of the latter category. On the homepage of Kalain, the menu offers the option to “cope with a temporary absence” – an activity I’ve been participating in for four years.’

‘I work with my own pack – I based it on the tarot de Marseille but I’ve modified the four suits with Celtic designs.’
